An expressive example of the Ancient Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican Colima culture, 300 BC-300 AD. Burnished polychrome earthenware effigy vessel designed in the rare form of a sitting owl w/legs that project at the front & a short tail at the back.
The vessel is painted entirely in dark brown w/black dots. The wings feature incised sgraffito designs. The head has pointed ears & round eyes. The face is unglazed.
A central cylindrical spout w/ a loop emerges from the top of the head. When blowing into the spout, the piece can produce a loud whistle.
